Covenant Transport Employer Reviews

drove over all 48 states and was out 3-4 weeks at a time..hardest part of job was getting along with dispatchers

come in and check trucks and freight. this is where i learned how to manage my fleet to its full utlization and to be profitable. management was great, coworkers were great.

Orientation was good, so were the facilities. People overall were good,but the training for student drivers is something I couldn't cope with. My trainer was training me in team driver mode. I would drive while he slept and vice versa. But overall if I was a driver with a couple of years experience I believe it would have worked out better

I love my job and the freedom that comes with the adventure...Everyday is a learning experience and a new feat to expect...My Dispatch Mgrs. are great and very prompt in every which way...Most importantly, "I like getting Paid!"

Exremely high stess enviornment with 12 hours of non stop phone calls from drivers consisting of 3 trucking companies with a variety of issues including accidents, Workmens Comp, OS&D, Theft of unit or cargo, Physical/ Verbal altercation and Customer service issues to name a few. What i enjoy about the job is the amount of off days given. Due to working – more... 12 hours shifts we work whats known as swing shifts with 3 days on and 4 days off one week and then 4 days on with 3 days off the next week. – less

My co-worker was find and I learned that the company does not care about the employee's and just keeping the trucks moving and employee's is just a piece of equipment to them. The hardest part of the job was not being able to go home and getting them to try to make time for you to get home. I really did enjoy that they had a very nice truck for me to – more... drive. – less

I love to drive and I was expecting more than accomplished. I was promised to get 6000 miles a week and never received that after training was completed.

Good pay with lots of coast to coast miles. A lot of the students were not really willing to work for a living but President Clinton sure paid for their job training.

Covenant Transport is one of the Greatest places to work,Located in the Beautifull Chattanooga Area.

Experience was a good one. I would love to continue working for them but family issue I had to leave.

we receive a job on our on board computer and we review information of pick up and delivery time and dates and plan a route to deliver. then we accept job. we deal with the shipper of the products as well as the receiver. W are allowed a certain amount of time to get the shipment to the customer.

Very friendly employees, long hours, look i do not like writing these things

IT WAS A GOOD PLACE TO WORK BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO LAY PEOPLE OFF AND THE MANAGER TRICKED ME INTO QUITTING SO I WOULD NO BE LAYED OFF.

Do not go for the refresher course. They will take you out an in unfamiliar truck with wierd floating steering axle, and an unfamiliar ten speed, on a snake curve road, that requires use of the jake brake, after several yearos off being off the road and then immediately judge you on that. No empahasis on proper rest and proper sleep like CR England, – more... force teams – less

This was a great company to start out with if you ever wanted to get into the trucking field. They have all kinds of pathways into the trucking field to.

This company does not know what the left side and the right side is doing.
